“But I don’t—I am not in love with anyone,” Charles says. “So I am just doomed, then?”

Summary
“Lando won.”
Charles’ breath hitches, an uncomfortable knot appearing suddenly in his throat. He didn’t see the celebrations, but he can picture them because they’re what he’d do, he thinks about it all the time, the way he’d be unable to stop smiling and how he’d probably cry and how his family would hold him and his team would sing for him—
“I know.”
Max’s face pulls down, and then the expression is gone.
“You’ve been spiralling about it for months,” Max says. His voice is oddly soft. “Every time we see each other, you are ranting about how unfair it is, that they don’t deserve that car. And now you have nothing to say?”
He hasn’t been spiralling. That’s ridiculous.
“It is what it is.”

Lando wins the 2025 WDC. Charles struggles to cope.

Summary
Of course he needs him.
Charles needs Max Verstappen like he has always needed Max Verstappen, like he will always need Max Verstappen. Charles needs Max like the air he breaths, like the water he drinks, like the gravity that steadies his feet. There is no Charles without Max, and no Max without Charles. Planet Earth only survived sixteen days of Max without bringing Charles into the world too. Planet Earth is so much stronger than him.
A thin red string tied around the foot of a chubby blonde baby boy laying in a crib in Hasselt, running across rivers and valleys and fields, through Belgium and Luxembourg and the freezing cold Alps, knotting and twisting until it found itself looped around the ankle of a squalling, red faced baby boy in Princess Grace Hospital, Monaco.
And then little Charles had looked at him across a wet karting circuit and that string had knotted tight, but he hadn’t understood the feeling at the time. Fate screaming at him that there, right there, that is your soulmate, and you will love him until the day that you die.
You have to. You have no choice.

Summary
“Where do you want to go?” he asks. He still feels so confused, even though he’ll do whatever Charles needs. “Your mother’s?”
Charles tenses up immediately. “No, no, no, we have to leave Monaco.”
Leave Monaco?
Of course Max will do as he says, because he can’t bear for his omega to have such a stricken expression, but why on Earth do they need to leave Monaco?
“We have to go somewhere secret,” Charles says, very seriously, which really doesn’t clear anything up for Max at all. “Somewhere nobody knows where we are.”
Or: Charles is pregnant. Neither he nor Max know. His instincts get a little messed up.
